747: Golden Hoop Body

"Monkey!?"

"Great Sage!"

Hearing the voice in their ears, Yang Jian and Nezha immediately lost their composure, turning to look towards the horizon.

Qin Yang also immediately stopped his attack.

Although he had never seen Sun Wukong with his own eyes, he was familiar with that unique tone of voice.

However, the Bull Demon King was still a threat; even if he wasn't executed on the spot, he needed to be controlled.

He said to Nezha, "Third Prince, use your Universe Scarf to tie him up for now."

"That's right!"

Nezha then came back to his senses and immediately flung out a crimson silk ribbon.

Taking advantage of Qin Yang controlling the Bull Demon King,

the Universe Scarf, like a spirit snake, bound his limbs together.

This Magic Treasure was no worse than the Immortal-Binding Rope; once bound, it was difficult to break free.

Seeing the Bull Demon King bound, Qin Yang finally relaxed his spirit and used True Dragon Qi Observation to look around, searching for Sun Wukong's whereabouts.

Only, this time he saw nothing.

"Monkey, stop playing tricks, come out and speak!"

Yang Jian also opened his Heavenly Eye and looked around, with a puzzled expression on his face, clearly having found nothing.

"Can't get out, can't get out ~"

The playful voice once again sounded in the ears of the three.

"Damn monkey, we came all this way to save you, and you're still being mysterious?" Yang Jian pointed his three-pointed, double-edged spear at the sky, cursing under his breath, but with a smile on his lips.

Qin Yang could see why he was happy.

Listening to the Great Sage's voice, his condition seemed good.

But what was puzzling was that he could only hear the Great Sage's voice, but could not perceive him.

This was a very rare occurrence.

After all, under True Dragon Qi Observation, as long as something existed, it would be seen.

If it couldn't be seen... that meant it didn't exist.

"Great Sage, where are you? Why can't we perceive you?"

At this moment, Nezha looked up and asked.

In front of Sun Wukong, his hot temper was noticeably much more docile.

"Hehehe ~"

"I am currently just a wisp of consciousness attached to the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, not even a remnant Soul, so you naturally can't perceive me."

Sun Wukong chuckled, as if talking about something trivial.

"Just consciousness...?"

Yang Jian murmured, looking down, and said disappointedly, "I thought he had come out of Reincarnation."

"It's only a matter of time. I came here precisely to release the Great Sage's remnant Soul, didn't I?"

Qin Yang comforted Yang Jian.

At this moment, Sun Wukong noticed Qin Yang and asked, "Hey, I almost forgot to ask, who is this brother...?"

"This is the newly appointed Human Emperor, Qin Yang, his imperial title is Taixu." Yang Jian introduced him.

"Oh? Human Emperor?"

Sun Wukong was a little surprised and said, "Don't blame me for being blunt, but I remember you and the Third Prince personally destroyed the previous Human Emperor and ended the Human Dao era. How... how did you get mixed up with the new Human Emperor again?"

After speaking, he then said to Qin Yang, "Human Emperor, didn't you plan to collect debts from the two of them?"

Qin Yang smiled, understanding the meaning behind Sun Wukong's words.

This Victorious Fighting Buddha was not a low-EQ monkey.

When he said this, he was actually warning Qin Yang, the Human Emperor.

At the same time, he also wanted to know, if they were clearly enemies, why did they come to help?

Qin Yang didn't want to explain everything from beginning to end, so he simply followed Sun Wukong's words and said, "I was able to return to the position of Human Emperor, and Yang Jian and Nezha contributed greatly, so the debt has already been repaid."

"Help you return to the position of Human Emperor?"

Sun Wukong's tone was very surprised, and he asked Yang Jian, "So, you've fallen out with the Chan School?"

"More than just falling out." Yang Jian chuckled, pointing at Qin Yang and Nezha, "The three of us are going to tear up that investiture of the gods."

"Hahahaha!"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Wukong immediately burst into laughter.

"Indeed!"

"I knew you renegade would betray your employer sooner or later!"

"Third Prince, you've also learned bad things from Yang Jian!"

"Tsk..."

Yang Jian clicked his tongue, "He wasn't well-behaved to begin with."

Immediately, he cleared his throat and said, "Let's get back to business. Are your remnant Soul and Physical Body still in Reincarnation?"

Sun Wukong said, "Yes, have you found a way for me to escape Reincarnation?"

"Of course."

Yang Jian said proudly, then pointed at Qin Yang, "My Brother Qin, the Human Emperor, is the one who controls Reincarnation; you will soon see the light of day again!"

"Oh!?"

"That strong?"

Sun Wukong's tone was pleasantly surprised.

But soon, he sighed somewhat dejectedly, "Alas, but now is not the time to escape Reincarnation."

"What do you mean?" Yang Jian frowned.

Sun Wukong said, "You also noticed the swastika on the Bull Demon King's skeleton just now, didn't you?"

Yang Jian glanced at Qin Yang and said, "That's right, Brother Qin was the first to notice it."

Sun Wukong continued, "That thing is the main body of the golden hoop; it can control the Physical Body and Soul."

"So..." Yang Jian had already guessed something and asked, "Your remnant Physical Body will fight us?"

"Inevitably, are you scared?" Sun Wukong teased.

"Scared of what?! To have a reason to beat you up, I couldn't ask for more!" Yang Jian retorted with a smile.

"Me too ~"

Sun Wukong smiled and continued, "But if it were just a fight, that would be fine, but things are not that simple."

Yang Jian frowned, "What else? You monkey, why are you so troublesome?"

Before Sun Wukong could speak, Qin Yang said, "I speculate that the swastika rune cannot be dispelled, only destroyed, but if it is destroyed, the Great Sage will die completely."

Qin Yang's logic for this speculation came from the Bull Demon King.

Just now, they had the opportunity to destroy the swastika rune from within.

But Sun Wukong made them stop, saying that the Bull Demon King was also his brother.

Clearly, if the swastika rune were destroyed, the Bull Demon King would surely experience Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

"Oh, Brother Qin the Human Emperor has strong insight indeed."

Sun Wukong praised him and explained:

"That's right, this wisdom root was something I discovered when I tried to decipher the golden hoop; it is deeply bound to my Physical Body and Soul."

"Even without the golden hoop, the wisdom root remains."

"If I don't deal with this thing, even if I revive, I won't be able to escape the suppression of Spirit Mountain."

Hearing this, Nezha couldn't help but curse, "Those bald donkeys are truly insidious!"

Seeing that everything was ready but lacking the final crucial element, Yang Jian was very regretful and asked, "So, we must go to Spirit Mountain?"

"It's useless; those bald donkeys went back on their word about not removing the golden hoop precisely because they couldn't remove it."

Sun Wukong sighed and said, "You have done enough for me to this extent. I only hope that you can take the Golden Cudgel out. My consciousness is also on the Golden Cudgel; if it goes out, it's equivalent to me going out too."

Hearing this, Yang Jian and Nezha both fell silent.

That the Great Sage Equal to Heaven could only exist in the form of the Golden Cudgel was truly too stifling.

Just as Yang Jian and Nezha were feeling sorry for Sun Wukong, Qin Yang spoke, "I have a way to break this thing."
